DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The SILENT command causes the SmartMotor™ to suppress all PRINT messages from being
transmitted on channel 0. Report commands originating from a user program are also
suppressed if they are configured to transmit from COM channel 0 (see STDOUT=formula on
page 725).
This command is typically used when a program has PRINT statements that may be
interfering with debugging efforts. For instance, when opening a polling window or issuing
serial commands during debugging, it may become necessary to suppress PRINT statements
in a program.
The SILENTcommand does not prevent the SmartMotor from sending messages in response
to incoming serial report commands from the host. Also, it does not interfere with ECHOing
received serial communication over channel 0.
The TALK command negates the effect of SILENT and restores the motor's COM 0 port to its
default operating state. For details, see TALK on page 732.
SILENT may be issued from the terminal or within a user program. However, the command is
typically sent from a host.
